Jasper didn't go through all that with Maria. She did change him but he realized he didn't have to be a monster and kind of did his own thing for all those years till Alice found him. This is starting off a Bella and Edward story but will go to a Bella Jasper story. There will also be characters in this story that are NO WHERE in the twilight series. So I hope you stick around for the whole story. This is just the starter piece so there is sure to be more. Let me know if you like it. May have chapter 2 up later. So here is chapter one of "It Takes One Moment"

JPOV

Somehow by my stupid luck I got the position of watching Edward's new human. Edward had picked Bella up at about noon and told her that he was leaving her in my hands. From my and Alice's room I heard Edward say to her, "Now Jasper is one of the newer members of the family so he has a little more trouble with human blood than the rest of us do. So when the family and I leave I want you to keep your distance from him and avoid all things that may make you bleed."

She answered a little timidly, "If he has such problems then why is it going to be just me and him here?"

"Because it turns out the rest of the family hasn't really fed in a while except for Jasper. So we are going to go for a quick hunt not too far from home. So it won't take as long. We will be back in just a few hours."

I heard the whole family leave and run off into the woods. I heard Edward say as he left, "You better control yourself Jasper. Kill her and I will burn you to nothing."

Then he was gone. I chuckled at Edward's words. If only he and the rest of the family would realize that I really did not have a problem with human blood. I had been around humans for a while before Alice finally caught up with me. The only reason I have any trouble with it now is that I now live in a house with six other vampires that even if they deny it to themselves wish they could have humans all the time. The worst one is Edward. The first few weeks of him knowing Bella all he could think about was drinking her blood. So with it just being her and me in the house I should be perfectly fine but to please Edward I agreed to keep a little distance between her and me.

I finally got my ass off of the bed and walked down the stairs. I made sure to make some noise so I didn't scare her. She was out on the balcony looking at the view. "Hey Jasper," she called over her shoulder.

I laughed, "Hey Bella. What are you doing out there?"

She tilted her head to the side, "Just thinking."

"About?" I asked.

She turned around to look at me. "I was thinking about what it would be like to live for a long time like you guys. I mean Carlisle is like almost four hundred. Edward is going to be a hundred soon. How long have you been alive?"

I smiled at her, "Don't you mean dead? Well I was changed during the civil war. So not to date myself too much you can do the math."

"So pretty much a while. Just think of all the things that will change between now and a hundred years from now. I mean who knows there may be flying cars or five new sources of energy. Things could be so different." She leaned against the railing and put her hand under her cheek as she spoke.

See understood the good things about living forever but I doubted she truly understood the bad that came with eternity. "You know that's the good thing about living for a long time but there are many bad things that do too."

She laughed, "What could be all that bad?"

My smile slipped from my face, "Loosing everyone. You are forced to see friends, family, everyone you have ever held close to you that isn't like you will eventually die. It can be a very lonely world if you don't find someone to be with."

"You found Alice though."

That made me smile, "Really she found me, but yes. Although I was forced to watch my father, mother, and little sister all die. The worst part was when I went back to the house once after the war was over. My mother saw me and she screamed and ran toward the hill I was standing on. I ran before she could get to me. After that my father made her stay in bed and a doctor gave her medicine to calm her nerves."

Bella staid quiet and I walked a little closer. Soon without realizing I was standing next to her leaning on the banister, "My little sister married my best friend from before the war. They had two sons. Eventually they too got married and had children of their own and I watched my sister grow old and die. Eventually I couldn't take watching my nephews die as well so I left. During my travels I found Alice and she told me about the Cullens and how they would allow us to join them and they would be like family. So I decided to go with her."

Bella must have realized that I was so close to her because she almost jumped a little. She looked at me and said, "Edward said I should keep some space between the two of us because you aren't as used to not eating people."

I couldn't help but laugh this time, "Actually Edward gives me little credit. I am in fact very good with not eating people. The only reasons I've slipped in my time living with the Cullens is because I am living with so many of them. To be honest not drinking a humans' blood is quite easy for me. Like I just told you I was able to keep a close enough eye on my parents, little sister and nephews without killing them."

"Vampires everyday have to fight the urge not to kill humans. I feel feelings that people and vampires have. So everyday I have to fight my own blood lust plus the blood lust of the other six vampires in this house. So sometimes if one is hungering even more than usual for human blood I feel it too and it makes it tough on me. So sometimes when that happens I can not control myself and I accidentally kill. So with it just being you and me I am perfectly fine."

Bella looked at me and I thought she was going to say that it was a crazy thought but she looked at me and said, "That makes perfect sense. I mean it must be hard when Edward is around me because my blood sings to him." She laughed at the face I made, "Edward told me why he had such trouble being around me when we first met. So with him so tempted it must be that much harder for you."

I smiled at her, "Exactly." I turned away from her because I knew that if Edward even saw me that close to her I would have to have Alice put my arm back on later.

I looked at a painting I had done for Esme a while back. It really wasn't anything, but Esme loved abstract painting and she loved to watch me draw and paint. I turned around to say something to Bella and I saw she was walking on the rail of the balcony, "Bella! What are you doing?"

"Practicing my balance. I have found that if you are too close to the ground it has little affect, but when you are as high as this there is some risk to it so it means I have to focus more." She had her arms out like a tightrope walker. She was doing very good she made it from one side to the other and even turned around to go back. She was almost back to the other side when I saw her step wrong she started falling towards the glass door. I ran and caught her bridal style. She looked up at me and stared into my eyes, " Thanks Jasper. That would have been hard to explain."

I dipped my head like a gentlemen and said, "It was no problem." I put her down and she walked sheepishly back into the living room. She turned on the television and started clicking through the channels. I shook my head at her and walked in and sat in a chair a bit farther from Bella because I had a feeling soon Edward and the rest of the family would be back.
